Take a quick guided tour of the new OVHcloud Console navigation.

 

Requirements

 

Introduction

Basic navigation comparison

While the Console's look and feel may seem very different from the legacy OVHcloud Control Panel, you can still easily navigate your OVHcloud products and services.

The sections below will show you which aspects of the basic navigation remain the same and which have changed. One exciting new feature on the Home, Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and Bare Metal Cloud pages is widgets. You can add, move, and resize each widget; the Restore layout button will revert the widgets back to the default.

What is different?

  • There are more links in the "Quick access" area.

What is different?

  • Toggling to My services displays the number of each service in your account.
